G2 Esports have won the Call of Duty: Warzone Resurgence Series 2026 Championship after closing out the Match Point final in Paris. Cythe, Bigman and Anziety secured $250,000 in prize money alongside 1,000 points toward the Esports World Cup Club Championship.
G2 finished the final with 210.4 points, while T1 placed second on 182.4 and JD Gaming followed just one point behind on 181.4.
Twisted Minds took fourth place, with Gentle Mates completing the top five.
For G2’s current Warzone trio, the championship represents a significant step forward after a season in which their previous LAN results had left them outside the leading group.
From FiveFears to G2
Cythe, Bigman and Anziety were already competing together before joining G2 Esports.
The trio played under the FiveFears name during 2025 before moving to G2 in February 2026 as the organisation established its current Warzone roster.
There is also a defined structure to the lineup.
Canadian Aarondeep «Cythe» Dhami plays as the team’s anchor and co-IGL. Ashton «Bigman» Ezard operates as support and IGL, while Anthony «Anziety» Moran fills the more aggressive slayer role.
Their first major results of the WRS season were relatively modest compared with what followed.
G2 finished eighth at WRS Birmingham before improving to fifth at WRS Atlanta in May. Neither result put the team on the podium, but both LANs provided preparation for the tournament that mattered most.
Paris delivered the breakthrough.
Warzone’s new global circuit
The 2026 season marked the introduction of the full Warzone Resurgence Series, a competitive circuit focused on Warzone’s Resurgence format.
Competition began with regional online qualifiers before moving into two mid-season LAN events at DreamHack Birmingham and DreamHack Atlanta.
The campaign then culminated at the Championship, where 32 qualified trios competed for the largest prize pool of the season.
A total of $1.2 million was allocated across the inaugural WRS campaign. Birmingham and Atlanta each offered $100,000, while the Championship accounted for $1 million.
That made G2’s Paris victory more than another LAN title. It made them champions of the biggest event in the first complete WRS season.
Match Point changed the final
The Championship final used a Match Point system rather than simply crowning whichever team accumulated the most points across a fixed number of games.
Teams first had to reach the 150-point threshold.
Reaching it was not enough to win.
Once a trio became Match Point eligible, it still needed to win a subsequent game to secure the championship. That creates a situation where a team can lead the standings without being able to end the tournament, while rivals continue to close the gap.
G2 successfully completed both parts of the equation.
They reached eligibility before taking the victory required to end the competition, finishing on 210.4 total points in the process.
One point separated T1 and JD Gaming
The standings behind G2 remained extremely close.
T1 finished second with 182.4 points and collected $150,000, while JD Gaming ended on 181.4 – only a single point behind – to earn $100,000.
Twisted Minds took fourth place and $72,000, while Gentle Mates finished fifth with $55,000.
The top five finished as follows:
- G2 Esports – $250,000 and 1,000 EWC Club Points
- T1 – $150,000 and 750 EWC Club Points
- JD Gaming – $100,000 and 500 EWC Club Points
- Twisted Minds – $72,000 and 300 EWC Club Points
- Gentle Mates – $55,000 and 200 EWC Club Points
The win matters beyond Warzone
G2’s victory also contributes to the organisation’s wider Esports World Cup campaign.
The EWC Club Championship combines results from organisations competing across multiple games, awarding points according to their finishes in individual tournaments.
Winning the Warzone Championship added 1,000 Club Points to G2’s total.
For a multi-title organisation such as G2, that means the performance of Cythe, Bigman and Anziety has implications beyond their own discipline.
It also underlines the speed of the roster’s progress.
The trio entered 2026 under a new organisation and began their major LAN campaign with eighth and fifth-place finishes. A few months later, they won the most valuable tournament on the WRS calendar.
G2 become champions of the first WRS season
The result also gives G2 a place in the early history of Warzone’s new competitive structure.
With the Resurgence Series launching as a new circuit in 2026, the Paris Championship served as the conclusion to its inaugural season.
G2 Esports therefore leave that first campaign as its headline champions.
For Cythe, Bigman and Anziety, the title changes the way their entire season will be viewed. Birmingham and Atlanta became stepping stones toward a performance that arrived at exactly the right time – on the biggest stage and with the largest prize pool available.
The next challenge will be maintaining that position once the first Resurgence Series season gives way to the next phase of competitive Warzone.
